My almost 11 year old Sky standard box (Grundig) is on the blink. It was given its last rites this morning by Sky's customer support. The box is one of two I have as part of a multiroom package (the other is a '+' box). They offered me a couple of alternatives, none of which I'm that keen on ...
1. Go for a HD package, which would cost me €15 extra per month
2. Go with another standard box at a cost of around €100 to cover the installation and new box
Wondering though if there are other cheaper options out there? I see you can buy them on ebay but not sure then if I would have a problem getting my viewing card to work with a device not purchased with Sky themselves.
Note I am not at present interested in free to air options at present. Happy with what is provided on Sky (e.g. channels such as FX and Sky Atlantic are a must have).
Any advice in this area would be greatly appreciated.
